flacid Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Influenced by CCAI pt2 - Mainly in terms of 'organic' drums and samples - Pleased with some of the stuff in here, although not 100% sure of the tempo changes. https://soundcloud.com/srvll/fap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 First off...awesome lion picture. I hear some great sounds and I'm with you on not being 100% on the tempo changes, but they seem to correct themselves before becoming too conspicuous. It's growing on me on 3rd listen. It's hard for me to catch a groove, but I like the beat so it's kind of odd that I can't catch a groove fwiw. You did a great job of mixing the organic and electronic elements so they mesh well. I think it really takes off in the last 30 seconds for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like listening back to it but the tempo changes don't work (although I like the experiment) I've tried to make most of the changes pretty quick so they don't fuck things up too much. I like the drum patterns best, all the rest of it is samples/just stuff to go along with it. I think the same about the 2nd half/last 30 seconds but wanted to cut the track short as otherwise it would've ended up being 9 minutes long or something stupid like that.

FinePrimitiveSounds Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Drum sounds a really nice, sound like 90s drum machines, the big stretch and the stop/start nature of the track is really cool, you should try some metric modulation work ala autechre, where the tempo changes and divides rhythmically by it's eventual tempo, try it!

Yeah, was happy with how the drums sounded, the rest was just noises I enjoyed making via a sampler. You're right the tempo changes are a good idea and worth looking into in more depth but done properly and rhythmically (not random like the way I did it...) Cheers for the tip, will look into metric modulation, sounds interesting. Any useful resources/links would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
